Vice President, US Sales, Marketing & Service , Suneel Shorey and Director of Global Strategic Marketing, Brian Thompson will discuss how the company’s latest innovations in sterilizing surgical devices are helping hospitals in the fight against healthcare associated infections (HAIs).

“Approximately 100,000 people in America die each year from HAIs, more than breast cancer, AIDS and auto accidents combined,” says Shorey. “Ensuring instruments are properly sterilized is one way healthcare workers can help reduce the incidences of HAIs, and our goal is to provide them with the best sterilization technologies available.”

According to the Center for Disease Control, on any given day, about one in every 25 hospitalized patients acquires an HAI. They can be easily contracted in a variety of ways, and while many can be treated, that is unfortunately not always the case.

“Assurance that medical devices are sterilized is an important issue that most of us don’t often think about. We are happy to have representatives Suneel Shorey and Brian Thompson on the show to talk more about ASP and the good they are doing on a global scale to fight healthcare associated infections, ” said J.L. Haber Vice President of Programming.
